🔗 BUSINESS INSIDER ARTICLE - Marriott has unveiled the new Bonvoy Bevy and Bountiful credit cards, and the Bonvoy Brilliant just got an extensive makeover: www.businessinsider.com/perso...
As of September 22, 2022, both Amex and Chase launched all-new Marriott Bonvoy credit cards with $250 annual fees.
Here are the main benefits of the two cards, taken from the press release (link above):
- 6X Marriott Bonvoy Points on purchases at hotels participating in Marriott Bonvoy
- 4X Marriott Bonvoy Points on up to $15,000 in combined purchases per year at restaurants worldwide and at U.S. supermarkets
- 2X Marriott Bonvoy Points on all other eligible purchases
- 1,000 Marriott Bonvoy Bonus Points with each qualifying stay
- Complimentary Gold Elite status
- A Free Night Award (redemption level at or under 50,000 Marriott Bonvoy Points) after making $15,000 in purchases per year. Certain hotels have resort fees.
- 15 Elite Night Credits each calendar year toward higher Elite status
You’ll notice that the two credit cards are nearly IDENTICAL, however…
a. The Marriott Bonvoy Bountiful is issued by Chase and runs on the Visa network.
b. The Marriott Bonvoy Bountiful earns 4X points at supermarkets worldwide, not just within the U.S. (which is the case of the Marriott Bonvoy Bevy issued by Amex).
If you’re a big international traveler, you may find value in the Marriott Bonvoy Bountiful due to it being a Visa and its lack of the U.S. restriction on grocery store purchases.
While these 2 new Marriott credit cards may have high price tags ($250/yr. each), at least they do offer complimentary Marriott Gold Elite status simply from having them. Previously, the only way to obtain that was via the old version of the Marriott Bonvoy Brilliant, which had a $450 annual fee at the time (i.e. prior to 9.22.2022).
That said, for many casual travelers who occasionally stay at Marriott hotels, the Marriott Bonvoy Boundless credit card from Chase ($95 annual fee) may be a more compelling card.
Regarding the Marriott Bonvoy Business Card, it also had several updates that were added back in July 2022 as follows:
- 7% Marriott Bonvoy Room Rate Discount
- Gold Elite Status, complimentary
- 4X Points on Global Dining (previously only in the U.S.)
What about the Ritz Carlton Credit Card? Here’s what the press release says:
- Card members who have The Ritz-Carlton Rewards™ Card from Chase, which is no longer available to new applicants, will receive the new 85K Anniversary Free Night Award. There is no change to The Ritz-Carlton Rewards™ Card annual fee.

#creditcards #marriottbonvoy #americanexpress - แนวปฏิบัติและการใช้ชีวิต
Just compare the Bevy/Bountiful to the Amex Gold and the Marriot's own Boundless and you realize these new cards are not very competitive. With the Amex Gold, get the same 4x multipliers, with a higher yearly spending limit and Amex points are worth 2x - 3x what Marriot points are worth. Also, the Boundless, with a $95 annual fee, has a free night with no spending requirement and the same 6x multiplier on Marriot hotel stays, slightly worse multipliers on groceries/dining, but you're getting 3x on gas. The only thing these cards really have going for them over the Boundless is the Gold Elite vs. Silver Elite status, but it honestly isn't a huge difference. If they wanted to make these competitive, they should have had the free night without the spend requirement or made the yearly spend requirement for the first night significantly cheaper like $5k. As a value proposition, I don't know why you would choose these cards over the Boundless or the Brilliant.
I agree..i got 5 free nights when i got the boundless and a free night annually for only $95 a year
I see these 2 cards the same way. I don't see myself getting either of them ✌️
@@JB-pk1jx So you think it's not worth to get Platinum status from Brilliant card for $200 over Ritz?
Thanks, Mark for an awesome update.
You're welcome!
This was a great video! I’m really appreciating your approach to explaining the content.
Thanks Fabian, glad you find the presentation format to be helpful! 😃👊
Both cards are pretty meh...there's nothing to offset the annual fee at all. It's a pass for me.
Yep. I don't see myself getting either of them ✌️
Definitely my favorite designs for these 2 cards, but I prefer the newly revamped Brilliant card! Thanks for pointing out the $15k limit of the 4X categories on the Bevy, they should make that more clear up front instead of making us trying to find it in their terms 👍!
It sure _definitely_ be made more clear 👌
Underwhelming compared to the Brilliant and Boundless (and Ritz-Carlton if you’re willing to wait a year to PC to it).
Agreed 😬
Thanks!
You bet & thank you, Nhat! You rock! 🥇
I don't think Marriott credit card team is dumb. I'm sure they KNEW people won't like these cards because there's no point getting these cards without a free night certificate or at the very least some sorts of credit that help offset or reduce the ridiculous $250 fee. I think their goal is to lure people into get their top card, the $650 Amex Marriott Bonvoy Brilliant because the benefits on that card are obviously far better.
Could be. Not sure what the rationale was.
Yep, it is the decoy effect. Offer something worse on both cost/benefit axis, but close enough to the other option to make it look better. It is why a medium popcorn/drink is closer in price to a large.
How long do you have to have the card to upgrade to Brilliant?
I don't think you've covered before but can you do a comprehensive review and comparison of the hotel lines of cards, like hyatt vs hilton vs marriott. I know some people recommend getting into all of them but I'd prefer to just stick with one family of hotels for now. My friend has Hyatt so we use his card when doing hyatt, I'm leaning towards either ritz carlton or hilton aspire for myself but I can't really decide. And then I'm finding out that some of the hotel (and airline cards) are not as good when comparing personal vs business, like personal may be better etc.
Perhaps at some point!
Hey Mark, just wanted to give a friendly PSA reminder regarding chase, chase’s pre approval page is back. But even if you get pre approved with the offer showing APR’s, the 5/24 rule still exists sadly. I applied for the freedom unlimited with a pre approval and instantly denied sadly. Hopefully others can see this and have this information in mind.
Hi Trainer Gar - are you referring to _Amex's_ pre-approved page?
@@MarkReese I wish, Chase has a fully function pre-approval for the Slate, Freedom’s and Sapphire cards again. They silently released it about a week and a half ago.
The best Credit Card Guru on TH-cam!
😎👍
Thanks nayefalgo!
Yes he is!
FNC after $15K spend.... just like Hilton. Now for the comparison video on which CCs you'd get the most value from on that $15K. Thanks for all the info + video.
Hilton wins easily.
- Lower annual fee + more valuable certificate.
Hyatt wins, too.
- Lower annual fee + 2 certificates.
@@MarkReese That was quick + easy! I forgot about the Hyatt CC. Thanks, Mark!
hey, a great video can you compare the new cards to the Ritz Carlton card? to see which ones are better be a great video thank you
I'll consider it!
The offer terms on both Amex cards only list 24 month exclusions for Chase cards, not Amex. I just got a Bonvoy Business earlier this year but that does not seem to exclude me from getting the Bevy or Brilliant bonuses now. Or for that matter getting both the Bevy and Brilliant bonuses.
Just checked the Chase offer and it does the same thing. It has a 24 month exclusion if you've had an Amex Marriott cards bonus but does not exclude you if you've had a Chase Marriott card bonus.
Nice!
I just upgraded to the Ritz card and I think that is a much better deal. With the club upgrades, the 50k cert, the lounge access, the gold status, the 300 Airline Credit and all the other benefits. that $250 fee makes no sense. Something else to point out on protections, the Ritz card gives you $10k per claim. That's huge! You can buy jewelry and it would be protected for 120 days.
Congrats on your upgrade! I agree, the Ritz card is better than the two $250 cards 💯 And that 50K cert is now becoming an 85K cert going forward 😃
On the ritz card??
@@MarkReese and yeah. I like to eat ice cream out of a champagne glass so I figured the ritz card is for me 😂
The new bountiful card is looking like a winner for me.
Great! What do you like most about it? 😃💳
Usually, the bigger chip on the card means it will likely be metal. Again, usually.
😁👍
I hear there’s a one lane rule with these cards, but could you get the AMEX Business card and also get a personal card from either AMEX or Chase with the same Marriott number and combine elite night credits?
Sure. I did a separate video on the eligibility rules prior to the new cards coming out, so it's still valid for the previous card products. Here's the link: th-cam.com/video/pzGmeB3S7Kg/w-d-xo.html
@@MarkReese you’re the man as always!
NIT: At 5:10 you say if you want a 75K stay you can add 50K + 15K. It should be 65K not 75K.
Good catch, thanks! 😬
If they only focused on the UK market as they do in the US !
😁👍🇬🇧
One thing that I've noticed and I'm not too sure of so maybe you or someone in the comments can help out. You get platinum status off the bat but you also get 25 nights added each year...... so does that mean after 1 year you are upgraded to titanium? OR....... if you hold the card for 3 years are you titanium? I'd love for someone to clear this up for me. Thanks in advance!
1. The automatic Platinum status via the Bonvoy Brilliant card is not issued via elite night credits. In other words, you get Titanium 'unlocked' but with 0 nights. To achieve Titanium, you'd have to earn 75 nights.
2. The next benefit of 25 elite night credits then puts you at "Platinum w/ 25 nights." So then to achieve Titanium, you'd have to earn an additional 50 nights.
3. The elite night credits do not roll over. Each year you start back at 0.
Marky boy,.. other than the beautiful new designs I consider these two cards terrible cards. I wouldn’t get them not even with a lower AF. The real deal is our amazing Amex Marriott Bonvoy Brilliant. I’m happy to pay the $650 AF with all new perks. Happy Friday 🍻. I already put a six pack in my fridge of Vienna Lager🍺 to celebrate my graduation to Platinum Elite!!!!🎊
I don't see myself getting either of these cards either. Enjoy the Brilliant! 💯
@@MarkReese Yeap! I don’t blame you!!! I already see where I will use my 85k free night,.. Ritz-Carlton Marina Del Rey!!!
I see absolutely no reason to keep either card after year 1. It does seem to try to compete with the Hilton Surpass but in very poor way. Wish I could see the thought process behind these cards.
For $250, it should already include a 50k free night and a second for the $15k spend.
Agreed on both fronts 😬
Please make Brilliant vs Ritz comparison.
I'll consider it!
@@MarkReese I would like to see that comparison too, in light of the refresh. thanks Mark. You are great!
Should have called it Bonvoy Barf
🤣
😂
Can you receive elite night credit from two personal cards?
Nope ✌️
Thanks for the video. It is much more worthwhile than either one of these cards!
You're welcome!
I thought chase was finally going to get something on par with the brilliant
Nope 😄✌️ Chase still has the Ritz-Carlton Credit Card, though.
Hello Mark.....😉.....
👋
This is kinda off the subject, but I was wondering, can you get both companion certificates from Alaska for the personal and business and use both of them at the same time or do you have to be the one flying to get the companion certificate?
I think so, but I haven't read the fine print to confirm it.
I can't believe they come WITHOUT a free night certificate. The Hilton Surpass at least comes with a Priority Pass, and is better than these in every aspect: AF, status, multipliers, and even the free night award. Bonvoyed.... again.
Yeah the new $250 cards aren't great 😕
Hello Mark. I have a quick question on a topic that has either never been covered or perhaps is always glossed over and assumed. If I were an AMEX Platinum card holder with automatic Gold Elite status with Marriott Bonvoy and I decided to get a Marriott Bonvoy Boundless card that gives an automatic Silver Elite Status, would Marriott Bonvoy downgrade my status or continue to honor my AMEX Platinum Card membership with Gold Elite status? I apologize in advance. I know this seems obvious, but I am new to the CC game. I am looking for alternative CC solutions when traveling internationally and Visa seems like a great option in conjunction with my AMEX CC. Thank you.
You'll maintain Gold Elite status as long as you continue to enroll / activate with the Platinum Card.
@@MarkReese thank you Mark. All the best and Happy Thanksgiving to you and the family. 🦃 🍽️🍁🍂
@@James-sh7rr - And to you as well!
Bevy’s AF $250 and no yrly certificate not worth it. WOH + Amex Biz Marriott are better cards one get both cards and cheaper than new Bevy card and both certificate outweighs still AFs.
Yeah I'm not a fan of the 2 new mid-tier cards 😕
I can’t wait till my brilliant comes on Wednesday 🎉
🌟💯🌟
Is the Marriott bevy card, metal or plastic?
Not sure, I don't have it ✌
Missed opportunity here. The business card gives Gold status at $99. The Boundless helps you reach status based on spend for elite nights credit. These new cards had to offer something else plus a free night. Hyatt Biz card fails because of no free night. Not really hard to figure that a free night is essential to a hotel card.
I'll say it again: the Ritz card is now the best value for a high end Marriott card. Brilliant card devalues Platinum status by allowing you to buy it and breaks up the $300 credit in that annoying Amex fashion. All for a higher AF. No thanks.
Not a fan of the new Marriott mid-tier cards ✌️
Marriott Bonvoy Bodacious releasing in 2023. 😆
😂👊
I'm not the biggest fan of these two cards to be honest. For a $250 annual fee, you would think you'd at least get one free night without having to spend $15k on the card! Thanks for the breakdown though Mark!
I'm not a fan either.
You plan on getting any of these cards Jefferey
Nope ✌
Honestly don't think these cards are as good as the Boundless and the Brilliant. Heck, even the No Annual fee Bold is a bit more appealing than these cards. I think just bringing the entire card family over to Chase or Amex would have been a better move.
Yeah I think the Boundless + Brilliant are better products 👍
Do you think with the current refresh we might have a Marriot Bonvoy trifecta of sorts? 👀🤔
Ritz, Brilliant & Business?
Not really. Too many overlapping rewards categories & benefits.
Chase Marriot Bountiful is such a downgrade from Chase Marriott Boundless.
Marriot Boundless used to offer 150k sign up bonus, Bountiful only offers 125k. Boundless gave free night award after each anniversary, but Bountiful only give you free night award after anniversary, AND you after you spend 15k. Such disappointment.
Not to mention 2.5x times more expensive annual fee.
Yeah I'd much rather have the Boundless 👍
👍🏻
💯💯
The Bevy is honestly not that good of a card when you can get a free night every year for half the annual fee with the business card.
Agreed. Marriott/Amex/Chase missed the mark with those mid-tier cards ✌️
i thought bevy gives u 1 award night every year and 2nd night after spending 15k. is that not true??
Half true. There is only 1 night per year, and it requires spending $15K.
@@MarkReese thats why your videos are valuable, cuz it brings out these differences that others do not mention. thats what sets u apart. thanks
Better off getting the Business Marriott card and bonvoy card from chase at the same time then one of these cards
Totally 💯👍
This the Marriott card gonna be metal ? The bevy?
Not sure ✌
@@MarkReese the card is going to be Plastic
@@brianjmartinez7530 - Confirmed via which source?
@@MarkReese I went on the app and spoke with a representative and she said it’s a plastic card
@@MarkReese if I could post a picture on here I would be able to show y’all but, sadly I can’t . Representative Rosalyn said plastic for/sure
Hard pass on these. Why spend $250 and not get a free night?
I'll be passing, too 😬
You just got BONVOYED!
Twice 😬
